Living in a non-metric country I have to convert. 271K km = 169K miles.
In terms of a Volvo 240, that car has just been well run in and should
be good for another 100-150K miles (160+K km). CDN$2600 = US$2200.
Sounds like a great deal to me, especially if it is indeed rust free and
has been reasonably well maintained. I think you can plan on spending
some money up front (might need new tires, maybe a new timing belt, etc)
but that's a given with a used car anyway.

If it was me looking at it, I'd test drive the car, have my mechanic
look at it to see what needs fixing, probably buy it and think that I
got a good deal.
